Well.....We have a war going on in Afghanistan, and Iraq, then we took on the civil war in Libya.....from WW2 until now the nation that does no have air superiority does not win, and in the wars we are in not winning is losing.
[sarcasm] I see no reason for the airforce to be busy [/sarcasm] ETA that other thread started just before 4/1/11 because two buddies watched a scarey movie.

Maybe the .gov is going to a higher terrorist threat level, because of the killing of Gadhafi's family members?

I suspect the AF increased the force protection posture since I have not heard of the national color changing and I would know that. Force protection level changes are not uncommon and are in response to intel. The force protection level is not classified and is ussually posted at the front gate. Someone in the .mil needs to tell us what the front gate force protection level sign says. |

I was following that referenced thread...it did seem ominous.
when I saw the break in during the local news before they had any REAL information "upcoming late night announcement from the white house. we don't know what's going on...something about national security" ...I must admit....my pucker factor went up for a bit there. |

Quoted:
hey .mil guys, can i get a translation FPL? Bravo? Alpha? thx Terrorist Force Protection Condition (FPCON) FPCON NORMAL exists when a general threat of possible terrorist activity exists but warrants only a routine security posture. FPCON ALPHA This condition applies when there is a general threat of possible terrorist activity against personnel and facilities, the nature and extent of which are unpredictable, and circumstances do not justify full implementation of FPCON BRAVO measures. However, it may be necessary to implement certain measures from higher THREATCONS resulting from intelligence received or as a deterrent. The measures in this THREATCON must be capable of being maintained indefinitely. FPCON BRAVO This condition applies when an increased and more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists. The measures in this THREATCON must be capable of being maintained for weeks without causing undue hardship, affecting operational capability, and aggravating relations with local authorities. FPCON CHARLIE This condition applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating some form of terrorist action against personnel and facilities is imminent. Implementation of measures in this THREATCON for more than a short period probably will create hardship and affect the peacetime activities of the unit and its personnel. FPCON DELTA This condition applies in the immediate area where a terrorist attack has occurred or when intelligence has been received that terrorist action against a specific location or person is likely. Normally, this THREATCON is declared as a localized condition. See also antiterrorism. I chose to just copy and paste rather than explain.....sorry |

ETA: This post is in response to GoRebel's post above. Damn, it's busy tonight!
Yeah, I heard the speech, or part of it. Last week Obama decided we'd had enough and authorized a mission? Hasn't there been a kill order out on OSM for, like seven years? Perhaps the week of silence after OSM's death was the time required for BHO to figure out how to take credit and have the proper speeches loaded into the teleprompter? |
